Could we buy them for shits and giggles, and then sell their training ground back to ourselves for FFP reasons?...

Remember how we were all* on 'Billionaire Watch' before Fazzer came in, expecting some multi-minted Oligarch to come a-swooping on in and invest untold gazillions to propel us into the übersphere of the football elite?
Imagine how the fairy tales are going be....

Maybe Fawaz himself wants another go at football?
-
I used to take over Derby on champ, only sign players called Dave or David from leauge one and below at the highest price the board would permit, make 40 year old David Ayres my center mid kingpin and see how long it took to get sacked. True story.
-
At that point, had you ever kissed a girl?
-
I know we're not supposed to like them, but Wrexham scored an incredible goal straight from kick-off in a friendly against Leeds, which is worth a look (Twatter link I saw earlier has now disappeared).
Lewis O'Brien involved a couple of times in the build-up and Leeds don't touch the ball until their goalkeeper is fetching it out the back of his net.
-
Ornstein says Chelsea are working on deals for Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson.
-
Saudi investment in Derby looks like it's going ahead.
-
Let's all hope for Fawaz levels of competency and involvement.
-
Eddie Howe leaving Newcastle, according to the BBC.
-
That can't be good for them, whoever's decision it is.
-
Seems this guy is the replacement: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias_Jaissle
Hardly an obvious choice.
-
Guy used to own Almeria - took them up to the Spanish top division, relegation battle, relegated, not promoted. Doesn't seem likely to turn them into the next Man City.
-
Probably found the only guy in Saudi who isn't related to the royal family or a petro billionaire.
-
He's on the Netflix (I think) "documentary" about the Hearn's agency.
He is very into boxing and seems a lively character
-
I can't forsee anything going wrong wrong there at all.
Terrible human rights abuses aside, I liked this bit best:
I jnow who I'm backing if we were to get Derby in the Cup and he and EM get all Nathan Tyson vs. Robbie Savage.
